Therapists in Royal Oak, MI

Liz is a licensed counselor that specializes in helping new Moms! This can include pregnancy, postpartum, and struggles with the early years of parenting. The adjustment to motherhood can feel overwhelming and challenging. Mothers often focus on their children before themselves. Often as a new parent you don't have ample time to practice the same self care you used to. Liz can help you find a self care strategy that works for you. Liz utilizes cognitive therapy to challenge negative thinking patterns. We need to learn as mothers that we are enough, and Liz can help!

Do you ever feel wrenched by painful memories? Feel you can't find an “off” switch for the persistent thoughts inside your head? Even question your own sanity at times? Or maybe you just feel numb, disconnected. These are not uncommon feelings for grieving people or those who have suffered traumatic experiences. Friends or family may give messages that you should 'just get over it', but some wounds cannot 'just' be forgotten or buried. They require more intentional work.

First and foremost, it takes so much strength to reach out for help and I am glad you are here. It may have taken you a while to get here - maybe your undiagnosed ADHD put it off, or a people-pleasing part of you has put others before yourself, or a perfectionist part that felt bad that you couldn't "fix it" on your own. I believe seeking therapy and inner healing can hold joy and humor as deeply as it can confront and hold pain. My hope is to create a non-judgmental, secure space for you to safely embrace every part of you. Through it all, I will be there alongside you to remind you that you don’t have to carry it all on your own.

My focus as a counselor is to help you find yourself again. It is so easy to get lost in a relationship, job, parenthood, substances and/or life transition. We start to feel disconnected and out of tune with who we are and what we want out of life. We don't need to figure it out on our own, we get to do it together! Through conscious conversation and changing of perspective we can get unstuck and start to feel more connected to ourselves and our world. You deserve to have someone hold space for you and that's what I do.

Welcome! It takes an immense amount of courage to seek out therapy. When we experience trauma or hardship, our nervous systems have to figure out how to survive. Sometimes that adaptation may look like people-pleasing, dissociation, anxiety, over-functioning, or depression (to name a few). Therapy involves identifying your learned responses that may have helped you survive, but are no longer serving you in your present life. We will work to sit alongside those unwanted patterns and make space for new ones that better serve where you want to be.
